2014-02-26Also provide an option for setting the curl connection timeoutEelco Dolstra
2013-09-02Add an option to limit the log output of buildersEelco Dolstra
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.

2013-07-03Manual: auto-optimise-store is disabled by defaultEelco Dolstra
2013-06-05Update the default binary cache URL to cache.nixos.orgEelco Dolstra
2013-05-07Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted caches are ignored.
2013-01-02Reinstate the http://nixos.org/binary-cache default for the binary-caches ↵Eelco Dolstra
setting
2012-12-29Allow mounting a path in a different location in the chrootEelco Dolstra
Fixes #24.
2012-12-21download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than ↵Eelco Dolstra
root This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon) installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user" is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.
2012-11-06Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
2012-10-03Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" modeEelco Dolstra
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-09-13nix-channel: Add option to force fetching of manifestsEelco Dolstra
2012-08-27Disable the binary cache substituter by default for nowEelco Dolstra
2012-08-01nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channelsEelco Dolstra
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches.
2012-07-31Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra
For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in nix.conf.
2012-07-31Add an option ‘build-fallback’ (equivalent to the --fallback flag)Eelco Dolstra
2012-07-30Get rid of $NIX_BINARY_CACHESEelco Dolstra
You can use ‘--option binary-caches URLs’ instead.

2012-07-23Automatically optimise the Nix store when a new path is addedEelco Dolstra
Auto-optimisation is enabled by default. It can be turned off by setting auto-optimise-store to false in nix.conf.
